Hide Application From Task Manager Application Tab?
Apr 5, 2011
I have written an application in Visual Basic 2010 that I would like to hide from the Task Manager Application Tab, if possible. It's fine if it is listed in the Processes tab.
The purpose of the application is to allow users to postpone a restart following software update installations that require restarts. The application includes a form the user's must interact with so it can't be permanently hidden from view on the desktop. I am basically looking to mimic the WSUS Windows Update dialog which allows users to postpone restarts.
VB6 has app.taskvisible which is no longer included in VB 2010. I have seen a lot of discussion around this topic but no real solutions.
i dont no much about vb.net ..i am php developer i have just developed a mini application in vb.net i wanted to know how to hide our application from appearing in task manager...
I create a form and set the border style to FixedSingle , this form dosen't have (control box) and when i want to unload this form i should press ALT+CRLT+DEl and cancel it form process tab ( not Applications tab) how can i set my program in application tab in task manager?(show in taskbar is true)
I have created an application in VB2010 and deployed it such a way that it will start automatically when a user logins.I want user to restrict closing the application, so i disabled the close button also in the forms.But still users are able to close the application from Task Manager. Is there any option to restrict application closing even from task manager...?
In my application, the user can create a word document from a word template with dynamically added text and data to it. This happens on a backgroundworker so that the application doesn't hang during the process. This all works fine and the word document opens correctly when finished. Now if the user leaves the application to do something else, in most cases when they come back to it, it has frozen. It's still responding/running in task manager but the interface is frozen. In debug mode, it never freezes and so I can't catch the exact moment when the freeze occurs. My backgroundworker is disposed of when complete and I close everything related to the word object.
I'm going to create an application that will act as some sort of task manager. For stability reasons I will not use threads but processes instead. I have to deal with several third party libraries and/of COM servers that are not always that stable and can produce severe crashes sometimes. This may (of course) not affect the task manager
Problem with using processes is how to communicate with them? The process must f.e. give a status back of what it's doing every x seconds.
I was thinking of using TCP over a separate port per process, but is this the best way of doing this?
This works for XP, VB.NET 2003/2005/2008. This example does not work on Windows Vista. Add a ListView, and Timer to a form. {Timer must have the Elapsed Event}
Code: Public Class Form1 Const WM_COMMAND As Int32 = &H111 Const MF_ENABLED As Int32 = &H0 Const MF_GRAYED As Int32 = &H1 Const LVM_FIRST As Int32 = &H1000 [Code] .....
anyone knows the equivalent code for App.TaskVisible in VB.net? App.TaskVisible is from VB6 which hides the application in the applications list in task manager and not in the processes list tab.
I created a Security Log On that starts when i turn the computer On.Like the Windows Log On. I managed to disable alt+F4, alt+tab, window key, ctrl+esc, but i have only one problem disabling the task manager or the CTRl+Alt+Delete Button, is there a way or any codes to disable this? im using VB.net 2005.
is it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?
I simply want to create an application that can save each n every keystroke pressed from the keyboard and then user will be able to assign it a hotkey. And then whenever user presses that hotkey the data that is relevent/linked with that hotkey should be pasted into the active window e.g. notepad, ms word, email etc. I have developed it on my own everything is working fine but whenever I hit the assigned hotkey it wont stop sending data to the active window maybe because of timer.
I am currently creating a task manager. But there is a problem : After killing the processes, it still remains in my list box (list of processes).I don't want to use a timer to clear the list and add the list of processes again because this will cause the list to blink.[code]
How do I make my app have a description in the Processes tab of the Task Manager? Changing the assembly description doesn't do it apparently. Right now the description is just it's name.
My application displays a Splash Screen. In the Main form load event , we show another form in which user has to be select something. On the basis of that selection , the main form is loaded.
The scenario in which the main form is not shown in the task bar is :
1. Application runs , Splash screen is displayed.
2. a new window is shown to user to select something. this window comes over the splash screen.
3. Clicks ok on that window.The window is closed . Only splash screen is showing.
4.Now click on the space outside the Splash screen , the splash screen goes in backgound.
5. The main form is loaded. It comes for a moment in task bar but does not stay there. when i do alt+tab , it is there .
Im new here and i want learn more about visualbasic8..so my friend and me working on RAT ( most of work he coded ) so i want only to know a source codes to disable/enable task manager so im asking can someone post it here & thank you !
